:sadness:

Here’s a challenge: try to find even a single sentence in this that actually proves what the headline says. Also, take a shot every time the word “might” carries the credibility of an entire sentence.

    It may be the case that after every sunset, Xi Jinping transforms into a mighty wyvern and swallows a Uyghur baby whole. Experts on China unanimously agree that this is a distinct possibility, but the secrecy of the Chinese Communist Party makes it difficult to know the truth.

    Chinese surgeons might have carried out a final coup de grâce in an execution process that began in front of a firing squad or through lethal injection.

    Who the fuck can use an organ from a firing squad victim? They'd be contaminated with lead.

    If you read the backstory on these accusations the most horrible accounts are from the 1980's and 1990's and are about the Falun Gong. They just re-hashed the accusations for the Uigyers without checking modern Chinese law.

    I could seriously believe someone like Jiang Zemin or previous Chinese leaders might've let shit like that go down and even got away with it; but no one after Jintao and Xi. No way to keep the lid on that sort of thing and no substantial physical evidence has ever been presented like in other organ harvesting investigations like there were into Eastern Europe in the 1990's.

    After 2014 the CCP passed a law making all donations voluntary officially ending the practice and Western Academics complain that death row prisoners should not even be able to voluntarily donate their organs in China.

    Chinese transplant officials have repeatedly stated that death-row prisoners have the same right as regular citizens to "voluntarily donate" organs. This perpetuates an unethical organ procurement system in ongoing violation of international standards.

    Well, most American states let death row inmates donate organs so where is the outrage there?

    Gee, I wonder what this guy really does for a living?

    Academic study finds doctors might have removed vital organs before the executed had been officially confirmed dead

    Who are the "academics" who performed this "study", what organization do they work for, are they detectives, who are their sources? hmmmmmm

    A separate 2019 study by the ANU’s Robertson published in BMC Medical Ethics also raised questions about Chinese government data about organ transplants. The study found that numbers might have been falsified because they closely followed a simple mathematical formula known as the quadratic equation.

    It's always projection with these people. Just look, they're harvesting the organs of prisoners.
